I’m Obsessed With… Chunky Rings

I think women all have that one (or two or three!) item that we can buy in infinite quantities. Regardless of how many I have, the variety of the selection, and that fact that I know I don’t need any more, I continually find myself obsessing over chunky rings. I don’t even wear them that often! I guess I just collect them. Whether I’m on a vacation and looking for that collectible piece to bring home, or I’m at The Limited downtown, chunky rings are my guilty pleasure. Funny how I thought that once I got an engagement ring, this habit would end. I finally have the ring I always wanted; surely I won’t find satisfaction in stocking up on more relatively inexpensive pieces that don’t really complement my new sparkler. Sigh… the obsession continues. I’ll tour an entire store in 5 minutes and end up grazing the ring display for 30 minutes.

But hey, you can always justify your purchase with a statement like: “This is what I collect. We all have something! Mine just happens to be an accessory.”

I try to keep the rings under $40 (but there are always exceptions). And I’ve found a common thread in most my purchases – the rings go with pretty much all outfits (dressy or dressed down). Some of my favorite finds are below.
